The Daily Caller's Jim Treacher,
cracking wise about the President's troubles:
Obama says what he means, and he means what he says. And what he means, what he always means, is that he needs to get through the next five minutes. Anything he says at any particular moment is in service of that one and only goal. If it directly contradicts anything he’s said before, or anything he says after, that’s your problem.
Ralph Waldo Emerson agreed with Obama, saying:
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.
The Obama doctrine: tell the rubes what they want to hear, regardless.
